Today I hooked up the FW900 to the Intel iGPU, and 3840x2400i at 72Hz looks absolutely stunning on it! I had to tweak the timings a little to get below the 458.49MHz limit, but it worked flawlessly. Crystal clear picture! With only 90.1kHz and 72Hz, it's far from the maximum limits of this...

Awesome to so see another video on that legendary thing! And looks like more is to come in the future on those Siemens black and white models! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asfViYLpShM

Alright, here it is! Today I was finally able to test the last gen Intel integrated graphics with interlaced modes. This time I went straight to DisplayPort, tried with the default drivers installed by Windows Update and as expected... no interlacing working. No surprise there. So I went...

Timings are either CVT or GTF. CVT always works fine, I seem to remember for GTF it depends on the resolution. --- A few days ago I got my hands on a Intel ARC A380, so I could test interlaced resolutions support by myself. I found no real reports out there, and some contradictory informations...

No worries, it's back to stock limits already. I didn't do more testing that that, and I did it with the monitor I had full spare parts for, just in case something wrong happenned. I have another F520 with a shorted tube, but I'd like to keep it original as long as possible. Tests were done only...

Yes, I usually don't appreciate at all using UI scaling, but to make things readable for the photo, it was set pretty high here indeed! It took me quite some time back then, to tweak the timings until I got an acceptable result! I did hit the 655.35MHz pixel clock limit in CRU, and trying to use...

I was able to get a LK7112 adapter from eBay as well, and just received it! I will do a longer post soon, but quick summary. I was able to reach 431MHz with the stock small heatsink and 3D printed enclosure from the seller. I will improve the cooling and make a much better enclosure for it...

On another subject, I was finally able to get my hands on a replacement compatible flyback for my FW900. The original flyback from the FW900 (G1W chassis) is the NX-4504//J1D4 (1-453-348-11). I remember some talk about the flyback from the Sony G1 chassis being compatible and working...

First of all, congratulations on getting your FW900! So regarding the adapters, to be able to go up to 2304x1440 at 80Hz you'd need the Sunix DPU3000 / Delock 87685 (rebadged Sunix). At that resolution, 80Hz is indeed the maximum the FW900 can do. I tend to use both that resolution and also...

Interesting, I can't really say it looks blurry, but I didn't do a side by side comparison with a direct GPU output. I will do that when I can. The ghosting is only noticeable in certain conditions, so it's not too annoying. Haha damn, I went too fast. That said I'm interested in getting the...

Alright, I just tested both the Sunnix DPU3000 and the Delock 62967 with interlaced resolutions. They both display interlaced resolutions perfectly fine! :D I have to say I'm really impressed! So I just received a few adapters I ordered (all at a really good discount of -50 to -70%, which is...

I would say that depending on the game it might be hit or miss. But from my testing a few posts above, most games I tried did run well using old 2015 drivers with the 4890. There are a few tricks needed sometimes though, for example I had to have a monitor plugged in to the 3080 for Call of Duty...

Short follow up. I got a reply from ToastyX, he mentionned that he indeed vaguely remembers that 545.45MHz limit with the 5000 series, but he doesn't know where it comes from. The 272.72MHz limit for the interlaced resolutions seems to be linked, considering it's exactly half the maximum...

Oh I completely missed that indeed! I didn't really know ATI/AMD hardware before, I mainly had Nvidia cards for the past 13 years. So I tried it with the Radeon HD 5870, and wow indeed it pushes the pixel clock limit to exactly 545.45MHz for progressive resolutions and the maximum horizontal...

That would be something really interesting indeed to try with my RX 5700 XT maybe! It will give me an excuse to do some more testing with recent AMD cards as well. I will probably get my hands on a 280X / 380X at some point, since these are the last AMD cards with analog output. So if I'm...
